Love that, BC. Topic of second tweet was my primary beef with ROS - it was so cheap and made the first two movies utterly irrelevant from the standpoint of the good/evil slash light side/dark side narrative arc.

I mean, you are right, though the sequels were always more about Ray and Ren than about who the ultimate baddie was, just as the original trilogy was about the relationship between Luke and Vader/annakin, more than the emperor.

In any case, the thread was of course correct in that there were tons of plot holes and things that didn’t make sense (even more than I appreciated at the time of viewing), but Hurlburt is absolutely right.  While I recognize why these sorts of things would bother some people, they did not get in the way of me spending an enjoyable 2 1/2 hours with my kids at the movies.
